In a second-order cone program (SOCP) a linear function is minimized over the intersection
of an affine set and the product of second-order (quadratic) cones. SOCPs are nonlinear …

A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system, unlike a standard phased-array radar,
can choose freely the probing signals transmitted via its antennas to maximize the power …

This paper addresses the joint design of transmit and receive beamforming or linear
processing (commonly termed linear precoding at the transmitter and equalization at the …

Significant research activities have taken place in the areas of local and global optimization
in the last two decades. Many new theoretical, computational, algorithmic, and software …

In the last two decades, the mathematical programming community has witnessed some
spectacular advances in interior point methods and robust optimization. These advances …

Convex optimization has been used in signal processing for a long time to choose
coefficients for use in fast (linear) algorithms, such as in filter or array design; more recently …

A few words on the second edition. By a nice coincidence, Springer's proposal to revise the
book came when I was giving a serious thought to the idea. Ten years have passed and my …

This paper proposes a unified approach to linear controller synthesis that employs various
LMI conditions to represent control specifications. We define a comprehensive class of LMIs …

Linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) commonly appear in systems, stability, and control
applications. Many analysis and synthesis problems in these areas can be solved as …

In this chapter we give an overview of the field of iterative learning control (! LC). We begin
with a detailed description of the! LCtechnique, followed by two illustrative examples that …
